Beautiful dark garnet red reflections that unfold. The nose opens with aromas of dried flowers, compote of red fruit on smoky notes of wild spices such as pepper and cinnamon and notes of fruit in brandy. Very full in the mouth, soft and structured, with a long finish on aromas of game and licorice.
